1 cup boiling water
1 (15 oz can) great northern beans, drained and rinsed (liquid reserved) OR
1 1/2 cups cooked great northern beans (1/2 cup cooking liquid reserved)
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed (about 1 tsp) OR 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Pour boiling water over sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and soak
until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, slice finely, and set aside.

Combine beans, garlic, salt, rosemary, sage, and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Add reserved bean liquid for a
